The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

To highlight this extraordinary battle, the heavens, including the legendary Luo Zu, even added a light drizzle to the great city of Boyang in the western part of the Chu Kingdom.

The light, sparse rain cast a gloomy shadow over the sky, making one feel down, and causing one to grip the sharp knife in their hand even tighter.

Luo Zu's consciousness resided in the two people, but not to possess or control them; he merely observed their physical changes during their battle.

Unfortunately, once they reached the spiritual level, Luo Zu could not accurately grasp the subtle changes in their minds. He could only infer their situation through the amount of spiritual energy they used and the large fluctuations in their minds.

Luo Zu valued both of them highly.

The Barbarian Lord was able to innovate from the Yang God Method, refine a Dharma Image, and simulate an external brain, which is equivalent to a secondary brain to assist himself. This allowed the Barbarians, who were limited by brain defects, to have additional wisdom, which is equivalent to saving the Barbarians from thousands or even tens of thousands of years of arduous evolutionary path.

However, this will also limit the evolution of the barbarians, making their descendants inherently several steps behind humans, since intelligence is extremely important for any living being.

Fortunately, the barbarians possessed superhuman physical talents, which enabled them to pick up the martial arts of qi and blood that humans had long abandoned. They then deduced and refined these martial arts, gradually influencing the spirit and eventually cultivating a Dharma form.

This is something that Manzun has been researching all these years.

Luo Zu thought the Barbarian Lord's idea was very good, so he took it without hesitation and specially created a Barbarian body in the lower space of the world within the pot. Of course, the size of this body was three feet in the primordial scale, which was the limit of the current world within the pot.

Luo Zu used this unequal body replica to evolve the Dharmakaya derived from the Barbarian Venerable.

From martial arts training, to the stimulation of qi and blood, then to the cultivation of spirit, and finally to the Dharma body, there is no need to go through the next step of Dharma body.

"This Dharma form is really strange." Luo Zu sighed repeatedly as he looked at the small and exquisite brain that was made up of pure spirit and blood.

The main reason was that after he condensed this Dharma-image brain, he suddenly had a strange feeling. His memory had increased and his thinking ability had improved, but his spirit had not increased. On the contrary, it was being consumed.

After much thought, Luo Zu finally understood the reason behind this: the essence of spirit is still the soul and spirit, which originate from the soul and spirit. The soul is composed of three souls and the spirit is composed of seven spirits. Therefore, Luo Zu deduced a method called the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Yang God Method and the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Yin God Method.

The concept of "three souls and seven spirits" is merely a saying based on Luo Zu's own knowledge from his previous life; other races may have different classifications.

The soul, or spirit, is essentially the vessel of thought; the vital essence, or body, is the essence of essence, qi, blood, and flesh. These two seem to be parallel and separate, but in reality, they complement each other. The body is the vessel of the spirit, enabling its operation, while the spirit, in turn, nourishes the body, keeping it orderly and preventing its collapse. Between their movement and stillness lies the ethereal and intangible product of spirit. (This is the answer given by Luo Zu at his current state of mind.)

Therefore, Luo Zu understood that since his three souls and seven spirits had not grown stronger, even if he had an extra brain, it would not make him more mentally powerful. Instead, it would just create another place that would consume his spirit. Although the spirit consumed here would not actually be much, it was still not good to only consume without generating any.

However, Luo Zu's thinking ability has indeed improved a lot, and his wisdom has also increased.

Seeing this, Luo Zu began to think outside the box and tried to reconstruct a Dharma-image brain.

Unfortunately, one can only have one physical body.

But this was no challenge for Luo Zu. He directly created eight more barbarian bodies within the pot's world and then refined them into eight Dharma Body brains...

His wisdom did indeed increase rapidly, but his mental capacity was insufficient; nine Dharma-image brains were already his limit.

With the nine Dharma bodies plus his own brain, and the thought processes of the Yang God, Luo Zu now has eleven brains... right?

However, Luo Zu's thoughts did not stop there. He then experimented with manipulating and creating his own normal physical body from the prehistoric human race, which was of course a three-foot-tall body. He also tried the method of the Dharma Body Brain.

It was successful, but the intelligence enhanced by this Dharma Body was not much stronger than that of the Dharma Body refined from the barbarian's physical body.

Then, with the power of the eleven-core "processor", Luo Zu figured out the reason in an instant: the structure of the Dharma brain had not changed fundamentally, so naturally, wisdom would not improve.

But how can we improve the brain's structure?

Luo Zu thus began to diverge his thinking.

The brain is ultimately the most mysterious and intricate part of the human body. Back then, Luo Zu specifically studied it in order to research the second generation of small humans, but it was too superficial. It only made the intelligence of the second generation of small humans slightly higher than that of the current barbarians. The reason why the current human race has the intelligence it has now is because they evolved on their own.

So... should we trust the wisdom of future generations?

Of course, Luo Zu could choose not to improve the structure of the human brain for now. He could first enhance his own cultivation, strengthen his three souls and seven spirits, elevate his spirit, and then construct more Dharma-image brains...

Once he becomes a Great Immortal, he might be able to construct a brain with billions of Dharma forms...

Of course, this might be his perception of the emperor's golden carrying pole.

Who knows what kind of wisdom the great immortals themselves possess?

The wisdom of that being is probably beyond the reach of even trillions of Dharma bodies and brains.

boom!

A loud bang and a piece of information brought Luo Zu back to his senses.

The Barbarian Lord's Barbarian God Hammer smashed down on the top of Boyang City Wall, causing the hundred-foot-high wall to collapse.

A terrifying gust of wind, carrying the Barbarian Lord's divine power "Mind Capture," surged into the city.

At this critical moment, the Demon-Slaying Master drew his sword and slashed, cutting off the powerful wind from the hammer, preventing the people in the city from being turned into walking corpses by the demon's supernatural power.

This supernatural power is precisely the means by which the Barbarian Lord controls the savage beasts.

But the Demon-Slaying Master possesses a killing blade, capable of severing all thoughts with a single strike.

The Demon-Slaying Master was dressed in a black robe with a hood covering his head, obscuring his full appearance. Beneath the wide sleeves was a thin, dry hand gripping an unremarkable longsword.

The Barbarian Lord didn't care about any of that. A sinister smile appeared on his resolute and unyielding face as he grabbed the purple-gold hammer and delivered another heavy blow.

boom!

The air itself was turbulent, and the rumbling sound was like muffled thunder, echoing throughout the entire city.

But the Demon-Slaying Master was not someone to be trifled with; his blade was brimming with murderous intent, yet he managed to block the heavy blow with his thin steel blade.

Seeing his abilities, the Barbarian Lord laughed heartily and chased after the Demon-Slaying Immortal with a continuous barrage of hammer shadows.

The Demon-Slaying Master couldn't possibly only have swordsmanship as his means; fire, smoke, golden light, and blood light all bloomed on the Barbarian Lord's body.

At the same time, the figure of the Demon-Slaying Master, struck by the continuous hammer blows, dissipated like smoke.

This body had somehow become an illusion without anyone knowing when it was created.

But the barbarian king didn't take it seriously and turned around to deliver another blow.

Bang!
